New app aims to ease ostomy care for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06157814
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a web-based app called STOMA Care to see if it is practical and helpful for bladder or colorectal cancer patients getting ostomy surgery and their family caregivers. Researchers measured how well the app worked by tracking recruitment, retention, and changes in stoma knowledge and quality of life. The goal was to understand if such a digital tool could support patients and caregivers in managing ostomy care at home.
